A fully featured JSON API, with no XML requirements whatsoever.

Title says it all, pure JSON, nothing else. All the same features as the XML one, but at a different endpoint.

Hi everyone,

I’m pleased to announce that we now fully support JSON for the accounting API.

You can now use application/json as your content type and send through your PUTs and POSTs with JSON.

Cheers,
Adam

I think this works now (it does for me).

Although, if you have a validation error, you currently get a 500, instead of a specific error message.

'Accept' : 'application/json' works for GET (contacts at least)

it does not for POST
posting same xml with accept : json returns empty body, same code !

this is terrible...
parsing json is 1,000 better rather than using a xpath query

I suggest you ...
